Starlog would do hard-nosed commentary about Sci Fi and the state of Sci Fi in films and in media. I need to go and look for some of my old Starlogs... I think I might have commited the mortal sin of throwing them out. Eeek... <BR/><BR/>I do have a fantastic book on special effects that was published by Starlog back in the 70's. Pretty cool stuff actually. Most of it was devoted to stop-motion...James Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18367024894156410941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1130857559512477422005-11-01T07:05:00.000-08:002005-11-01T07:05:00.000-08:00Another fan fave mag of recent years was Cinefanta...Another fan fave mag of recent years was Cinefantastique. They eventually spawned an animation-only version, called Animefantastique, but that only lasted for 4 issues. The magazine has since changed it's format and is called CFQ, or something like that. I loved all in-depth articles on a particular movie -- that's plural! Yes, they would do about 3 or 4 articles on a movie, all pertaining to a partcular aspect of the film. Great magazine in it's heyday.<BR/><BR/>And Gemma Grace, I lovd Mighty Mouse when i grew up. There was something about those TerryToons that I loved. And that theme song is classic.Ward Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1130822214702770882005-10-31T21:16:00.000-08:002005-10-31T21:16:00.000-08:00I was Mighty Mouse for Halloween one year when I w...I was Mighty Mouse for Halloween one year when I was around 4 (1958). My mom made the costume and I felt Mighty in it! I can still hear the theme song ringing in my ears - I loved it!<BR/><BR/>Here's a link to an old Mighty Mouse video - no music though :(<BR/>http://www.archive.org/details/mighty_mouse_wolf_wolfGemma Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801672888634971979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1130804034708844942005-10-31T16:13:00.000-08:002005-10-31T16:13:00.000-08:00I used to read this mag--along with Starlog and Fa...I used to read this mag--along with Starlog and Fangoria--which used to be a lot better than now. Starlog used to actually have pretty good interviews and stuff. They also used to do a lot of special effects issues which were like some kind of creative-opiate to me. I have, somewhere in my collection, the 1981 movie guide with EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, WRATH OF KHAN, BLADE RUNNER, and a few others. They also did an interview with Don Bluth back in the 80's which was awesome.James Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18367024894156410941noreply@blogger.com
